I'll Go and Come Back (HC)

When Jyoti visits her grandmother halfway around the world, she is overwhelmed by the differences between India and home. At first she feels lonely and out of place, but soon, despite a language barrier, she and her grandmother are able to understand each other. When it is time to part, Jyoti doesn't want to leave, but then she remembers that in Tamil, people don't say goodbye, they say "I'll go and come back." A tender look at intergenerational relationships and language barriers.

Written by Rajani LaRocca. Illustrated by Sara Palacios.
